Have you heard the old saying that, if you look around a poker table and can’t figure out who is the sucker, then the sucker is you?
When it comes to the current medicines system, it is time for us taxpayers to take a good look: we are the suckers in this game. Taxpayers pay for the research to discover medicines we need, which is great. What is not great is that we then hand over monopoly rights to those medicines to corporations, which turn around and charge us taxpayers and our governments sky-high prices for the very same medicines we paid to discover.
